New guy from Texas, and FABO

[downtime!]

Just wanted to say hello. Name's Bryan and I've been over at FABO for a while now (have a clean '72 Scamp with a 440). Just bought a '71 Challenger from Streetside in Atlanta yesterday, and am looking forward to getting her back to Texas for a little cruising fun. Car was advertised as a numbers matching car, 318/904, and only one repaint. The build sheet is supposed to be in with the documents too. Car has a definite 70's vibe to it, those are Fenton Super Shark wheels (14x8 deep dish on the back). Reminds me of my high school days, probably won't change it much. Being in Texas, it will need a/c, so I ordered a Vintage Air kit for it today, along with some '71 Texas license plates for when she gets registered. Here's a couple of pics from the original ad -

Welcome. I remember seeing that one online because of the old school look.

Thanks for the welcome! The old school look is what hooked me, plus, with a 440 Scamp in the garage already, it will be nice having something you can just get in and go.

Welcome to the site. Nice car.

Shipper dropped her off about an hour ago. Pretty clean car overall, but not nearly as clean as the Scamp. Definitely more of a project car, but still a very nice driver in the mean time. There were two big boxes of stuff in the trunk, and it's obvious that this was a girls car previously. Custom painted front plate with a purple rose and Plum Crazy lettering, purple fuzzy dice that light up (might have to keep these, LOL!) and a tiny mirrored disco ball were my first clues. It also came with new weatherstripping, a new front plate bracket, a box full of small parts (screw kits, ashtrays, lighters, panel fasteners, stuff like that) and the remainder of the paint and reducer used for the paint job. A lot more than I bargained for, to be sure. Doesn't sound like a 318 2bbl either. It has dumped Flowmasters at the axle, with huge tips on them, and it is freaking loud. I'll try to get a video this weekend.

Anywho, here's a couple of pics to get things started -
